150 Million MLM Prospects Right Under Your Nose – MLM Marketing Using Online Job Board Advertising

Written by marcbarrett on May 15, 2013 · Leave a Comment

So if you searching for information on MLM Marketing approaches using online Job board Advertising to build your MLM business then you have come to the right place. In this online training review I will discuss the reasons why this little used but massive source of MLM leads can be used to successfully power your success in your MLM company.

Not too long ago in the days before I was an internet marketer, I had some pretty killer MLM marketing approaches that I used to dominate the world of MLM recruiting and sponsored dozens of new focused reps into my business each and every month.

Several MLM marketing approaches I used were basically just variations of a number of old school MLM marketing approaches that I had used for over 20 years but revamped to use the technology of the present day.

They allowed me to build such an avalanche of lead flow and sponsor so many dead serious people into my MLM that it propelled me to over 7 figures a year in income.

You know of course, that’s what it’s all about right?

Massive Lead Flow = Success

That’s the mythical secret of top producers that allows them to get rapidly to the coveted $10,000 per month and beyond.

It’s a numbers game…..

The more leads you have, the more distributors you can sponsor, the more 20% ers you will surface, and the more 1% ers you will find.

Now there are some killer strategies that relate do strategically developing your organization that I do training’s on but that’s not part of our discussion today.

Today it’s about a pretty simple high volume MLM Marketing & lead generation approach that anyone can use.

Now I am going to be releasing some marketing information previously only available to my MLM Marketing inner circle coaching team members about where you can tap into a inexhaustible lead pool of over 150,000,000 prospects for your MLM business.

This approach is simple, can be mastered by anyone and I used it to sponsor over 250 dead serious people into my MLM business in less than 2 years by using this one approach

Target Markets For MLM Marketing

Old School MLM professionals have traditionally targeted very broad categories of Transitional People for prospecting.

MLM Distributors of existing companies
MLM Hopefuls who are looking for a new company
Job Seekers
Opportunity seekers
Business Professionals looking for a change (Real Estate or Mortgage)
Business Owners looking for a change
Entrepreneurs

Target Markets Online MLM Marketing

Now Online MLM Marketing and lead generation generally targets only the specific target market of MLM distributors who are actively in the industry or looking.

However that leaves probably 150++ million potential prospects out of the equation since they are either not in Network Marketing, or not looking for network marketing or maybe they have been in MLM before but are not currently doing an online search for MLM.

So how do you tap into that huge untapped pool of latent MLM talent?

MLM Marketing Using Online Job Boards Advertising

Online Job Board Advertising allows you to tap into this fairly untouched segment of the market……

This approach allows you to tap into the more traditional MLM prospect marketplace.

Now Online Job Boards also known as “Resume databases” today represent a huge limitless reservoir of prospects, who because of today’s economy, represent prime suspects if not prospects.

What Are Online Job Boards

Online Job Boards today probably hold over 75 million ++ resumes of people who are transitional and looking for a change.……

Humm….. isn’t that who we are looking for?

WHAT A GOLDMINE!

Now there are hundreds if not thousands of Online Job Boards on the internet but here are just a few of the big guys.

Monster.com 23 million + resumes of job seekers
Careerbuilder.com 36 million +
Beyond.com 26 Million +

To effectively tap this massive resource all you need is the right approach, good copyrighting, and a sales funnel system to filter your prospects.

Advertising approaches for Online Job Boards

Job Postings

Place Ad – Just like placing a newspaper ad only lots more traffic.

Capture Page – Target opportunity seekers into a custom capture page or a video presentation overview of your opportunity (if you need an out of the box solution for setting this up see My Lead System Pro Review)

Application – Use application link through Google docs or Survey Monkey at the end rather than an opt-in form.

Direct Resume calls

Search Database – (Headhunter Approach) Use targeted search queries for the exact type of prospect with the exact skill you are looking for.

Categories – Business Owners, Independent reps, sales, realtor, mortgage broker, etc

Call Prospect & Sift – Call them directly and use the “Resume Database Call Script V3” to build rapport and sift the prospects. Now this is just like doing regular MLM Prospecting calls except that you know that all these prospects are transitional and looking.

Resume Database Mining

Search database and then send a custom sifting opportunity e mail (Resume Database E Mail Template) to sift the prospect and then direct them to your custom page or to a custom video with form. Now let me give you a word of advice here, do not send prospects to your MLM company replicated website and expect any results. That is not the way to do it.

MLM company replicated websites are only good for………

Well I can’t really think of anything they are good for, so my best advice is just don’t use them.

Rather go create your own simple online presentation using a video cam and post on youtube or if you really want to get serious use an out of the box marketing and squeeze page system such as My Lead System Pro where you can cut and paste for about 10 min and then you will have a professional looking capture page with a video stressing how hot your deal is to send your prospects to and you will actually sponsor some.

Search Database – Use a general query for skill set such as “sales” to get maximum search results.

Categories – Sales, Independent Sales Reps, work at home, Marketing, etc.

Sift Prospect Using e-mail – Click on the e mail hyperlink for each resume, cut & paste the “resume database letter” and send. Do one at a time – do not bulk e mail!

Rinse & Repeat: If going for volume you can average 200-300 individual e mails an hour or act like a true headhunter and target very specific skills (i.e. business owner or RE Broker), and personalize the e mail

So as you can probably tell I spent some time testing and refining this MLM Marketing process until it was a work of art and spit out new distributors like clockwork, but there is more detail than I can put into this short article, so you will just have to review the training video I did.

You will find the Scripts, ad copy, the approaches, it’s all there in the training I am going to give you access to.

Now as with all my MLM Marketing training’s, they are free for a very short period of time and then they go into my paid training programs.

So if you want see the training webinar for free do it now or starting next week you can pay me $149.00 for it

Free is good………….

MLM Business Models & Other Illusions

Written by Marc Barrett on April 27, 2013 · Leave a Comment

So let’s talk a moment about MLM Business Models.

Have you ever felt the thrill and frustration of being so close to success in something you could actually taste it?

Now if you have been there you know exactly what I mean, you can almost feel your hands on the steering wheel of the Ferrari, and if you close your eyes you can even smell the leather of that sexy interior, but most of the time there is this invisible barrier that keeps you away, and no matter how hard you tried to reach through and seize the success you deserve………..

it’s like trying to grab thin air.

Now a moment of truth here, if you really have the passion then you actually dream about it too, and in those dreams of course you also just can’t seem to get there.

Talk about frustration……………..

Arggh!!!!!!

So what is the problem here?

Are we perhaps missing some critical MLM success gene? Too short, too tall, bad breath?

Well sometimes it may be that you are just too close to your object of desire to see the flaws, the faults and the mistakes.

That’s what happens when you want it so bad you can taste it,

You lose objectivity…….

If you are drowning in the heat of passion, all you can see is the object of your desire, not the flaws, not the limitations, not even the sometimes obvious solution that is staring you right in the face.

You are flying blind, and to coin an old saying “You can’t see the forest for the trees”

Sometimes you just have to pull back a few thousand feet, get a global view and rethink the objective and the goal.

So let’s for a moment strip our goals down to just the bare essence, set it on the desk top and step back and look at it.

So why are you doing this anyway? Now assuming that it’s not some love affair with the company’s products that set you on this journey, the answer is probably the same for all of us…….

Just show me the money!

So in reality what starts us all on this journey of financial freedom is the thought that there is the faintest glimmer of a hope that there may actually be a path to generating a large enough income to (dare we even dream this?) set us free to live the life we have always wanted.

You know that dream you had probably back in high school or college when the future was so bright you had to wear shades and you lived in a world of unlimited possibilities?

Well if you truly believe you can get there, and you can, then there are some things you need to know that will make your journey run much smoother. Let’s take a moment and look at the right and the wrong way to do it.

MLM Business Models – The Path of Frustration

• Most People join an opportunity and commit to a plan of action without ever bothering to look beyond the one company they were prospected into (The Truth & Illusion of Network Marketing)
• Once they buy “The Dream” most opportunity seekers continually bounce from one hot opportunity to another (see The Tyranny Of The Deal)
• Biz Op seekers today are constantly awash in a sea of the latest and greatest “Hot Deals” (see Is Network Marketing Dead?)
• Success here depends largely on “Random Luck”. Maybe you will hit a workable business model or not.

MLM Business Models – The Path of Success

• Map out your objectives
• Focus on identifying the correct MLM business models first, not the opportunity
• Pick MLM business models that will get you to your objective within your time frame (see Top Tier MLM vs Traditional – Which Is Better?)
• The final step is to identify the best company using those MLM business models and go for it

OK, so now let’s fine tune our search and do a planning

MLM Business Models Planning

• Do you want Immediate Income or Long Term Residual from your mlm business models?
• Single Income Stream or Multiple Income Streams?
• Location – Physical or Virtual?
• Capital required to startup, Large or Small?
• ROI – Return on investment
• Break Even Point – How long to recoup invested capital?

Yes I know that doing this the right way by deciding what you want from your mlm business models first is a lot of work but let me try to shortcut this process for you.

MLM Business Models – A Roadmap

So how do you get to the big dollars? What is the right path for your MLM business models, is it a Standard MLM or Top Tier MLM, Hybrid-Top Tier (Empower Network) affiliate marketing, or info product sales?

There are of course enough options to give you a headache.

Let me simplify it for you and give you a global view of MLM business models and a host of other business model options as well.

Here is a webinar I did a few days ago that outlined the best options in the market today for making that magical $10K a month in the next 90 days.

Online Marketing Systems & The Funded Proposal

Written by Marc Barrett on April 22, 2013 · 2 Comments

If you are here looking for information on Online marketing systems and Funded proposal systems then you have come to the right place. I will be examining the mechanics of how these Funded Proposal systems work , why in fact they work, and why if you want to be successful in generating leads for your home business it is critical for you to not only understand how they work, but why you should be using this unique marketing system.

The Mystery of The Funded Proposal

Now just about anyone from the home based business or network marketing industry who ventures online in search of better ways to build their business and generate leads sooner or later runs into the concepts of using Online Marking systems to generate lead flow and automate the process of giving a business presentation. They also run up against a unique but mysterious form of an online marketing system called the Funded Proposal.

Funded what??

Sounds exotic already…..

Now every industry and business model whether it’s franchising, network marketing, affiliate marketing or any host of other popular business models pretty much has its own language. Now for the uninitiated prospect who dives into that marketplace, the words and meanings can be downright confusing to say the least (i.e. capture page, landing page, funnels, slaps, plugins, widgets, and so many others it would fill a small dictionary).

However words are just words and are usually easy to translate and understand. However the big stumbling blocks usually come with trying to understand different business model concepts, some of which are beyond the range of experience of a newbie, and since it usually represents something new and different, can be hard for a new person to grasp and get their arms around.

Implementing these new business model concepts can also be challenging since using them usually requires the rethinking or restructuring of an old well known approach, into doing something that is an entirely new business process.

Don’t ya just hate change…….

The Online Marketing System

Now this concept is pretty easy to understand since it is core to just about any business or sales model, and taking it online just uses a higher level of technology and automation than its non- internet based cousins.

Online Marketing systems are usually comprised of series of web pages that are linked together to first grab your prospects attention, capture their contact information, give them a video presentation, provide social proof of the product efficacy, and finally provide a buy option for the customer, all in an automated sales process.

In online marketing terminology these are called “Sales Funnels”

Here is what an online marking system usually looks like

Capture Page (also called a Squeeze Page) – This is the initial webpage your prospect sees and its job is to provide them with just enough information and sizzle to make them want to know more. These pages may contain a short sales pitch video or sometimes just a few short phrases of powerful copyrighting designed to be so intriguing that the prospect is driven to want to know more. This page will also include an Opt-In form where the prospect has to enter their e mail address to receive more information and to gain entrance to the Landing or Sales Page of the Sales Funnel. Once entered the customer’s e mail address is automatically sent to an auto-responder system (such as Aweber or GVO) that will then provide automated e mail follow-ups with the prospect ever few days.
Landing Page (Presentation Page) – Once the customer opts in or registers to get more information they are automatically redirected to a 2^nd webpage containing a longer video sales presentation. In some online marketing system funnels there may even be a series of web pages and videos that the customer goes through step by step.
Sales Page (Order Page) Usually the final step in the process is to offer the customer the ability to buy the product at the end of the sales funnel, usually with a “Buy Now” button that connects to a merchant account or shopping cart program that processes the customer information and sends the data on the customer to the company to process the order.

The Power of Online Marketing Systems

Now the power of the Online Marketing system is that your store or online sales funnel is open 24 hours a day, worldwide, and conducts the sales process for you automatically without you having to step in to manage the process or pick up the phone to close the sale.

A good online sales funnel selling a high profit product (such as Empower Network, Wealthmaster International, or other Top Tier MLM’s) and that targets a global market can make an online entrepreneur millions of dollars if done properly, and I might add, pretty much all on autopilot.

Yes Dorothy, that’s right you are no longer in Kansas, you are looking right into the eyes of your retirement in the Bahamas if you do it right….

Imagine sitting on your favorite beach enjoying a rum punch and smiling while you think about how much money you are making while you are not working.

Good grief, I want one!

Now you can see why internet marketing is so intriguing to so many business people.

Now of course as my economics professor used to stress “there is no free lunch” which means of course that you have to pay the price, but hey with a little study (well maybe a lot of study) and you laptop think about the life you could create.

Oh yes…….

Now online marketing systems are pretty straight forward, and as such pretty easy to understand but some forms of online marketing systems tend to leave newbie’s scratching their heads trying to wrap their head around a concept that radically different than what they are used to.

Enter the Funded Proposal Marketing System

Direct Approaches

Now most people in the world of business, home business, or network marketing are used to direct sales approaches. This is where you generate your leads, and directly pitch them on your business opportunity or product and present them with a buy decision.

Then the traditional sales model tells us to follow up until they buy or die (the Pit-bull on the throat approach).

Indirect Approaches

Now many sales people are also familiar with these approaches. These are slower but have a higher conversion ratio. This is where you don’t approach your prospect to buy right away but rather give them a chance to get to know you first, establish a Know-Like-Trust relationship first and then at some point they ask you to sell your product to them.

Attraction Marketing – The Know, Like, & Trust connection

These indirect approaches are also referred to as Attraction Marketing.

Now you may not know the label but you have seen it in action before, from stock brokers who do seminars to teach people how to trade stocks (so why do you think they do that?) to insurance agents who make friends with everyone in the community and never lay a sales pitch on anyone (and then write tons of business).

Attraction marketing is subtle and powerful, and the bottom line of the concept is that we would all rather do business with someone we Know-Like- and Trust, so if you establish that connection first then the sales process becomes effortless. There are even online courses that offer special training on how to implement these approaches online such as the Magnetic Sponsoring e book course.

The Funded Proposal

Now the funded proposal is also an indirect approach but this one is conceptually different, and probably confuses more people that try to market online than any other single concept because it goes against our basic desire for immediate gratification.

The World of Front End & Back End Products

In a funded proposal you usually will have a high profit product you want to sell your prospects but rather than approach them with that product first, you attract them with an alternate low ticket, high value product on the front end of your sales funnel to get their interest and attention and sell them that product first. (See EZ Money Formula)

Now once they are a customer you approach them with the higher profit back end product.

Now it’s important here that the front end product in your Funded Proposal be relevant to the primary business you are selling.

Funded Proposals Generate Cash Flow

One of the big benefits of the Funded Proposal is cash flow. Since generating leads costs money, why not monetize your lead generation efforts by selling a low cost high value product up front (see EZ Money Formula Funnel)

Funded Proposals and Top Tier MLM

Now Funded Proposals have been hugely popular in marketing Top Tier MLM programs. Since Top Tier MLM’s can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars (Family IQ) to $20,000 or more for membership (Wealth Masters International), you are obviously going to have to drive a much larger lead flow than you would if you were selling a Matrix MLM membership for $25.

Funded Proposals – The Reverse Funnel System

Now the Reverse Funnel System is a type of Funded Proposal System, and it’s hard to say who actually invented the Reverse Funnel system but it is rumored to have been a Global Resorts International distributor in about 2006 who came up with the concept of setting up a powerful sales funnel presentation that sold prospects on a mysterious but powerful system for generating income and then had prospects submit an application and pay an application fee of $50 to see if they qualified for entrance to the program. This was later also used extensively by Carbon Copy Pro for their Wealthmasters International product.

The $50 fee generated the cash flow, and the back end product was a big ticket Top Tier Travel deal. Obviously more people paid the $50 than bought the big ticket deal but your business process generated cash flow while you were sifting and sorting for the qualified prospects.

There are many variations of this business system still in use today.

Funded Proposals and Standard MLM’s

Now the thought process of using a funded proposal to build a standard MLM goes something like this.

My high profit product is a Network marketing business opportunity
My target market is business opportunity seekers or existing MLM distributors in other companies
Identify the single biggest problem that people in that target market have in achieving success. (Now in my opinion that single biggest problem would be that most MLM hopefuls have real problems trying to consistently generate enough leads to power their business).
Next we generate leads from the target market and drive them to a funded proposal online sales funnel that offers them a solution to that problem, let’s say MLM leads, an online lead system, online marketing system such as My Lead System Pro, or an online training system like Empower Network that will teach them strategies on how to market online.
Then sell that market your front end product that will solve their problem of finding mlm leads, and then once they are a customer sell then your back end high profit product or MLM.

Funded Proposals – Immediate & Time Delayed Sales Funnels

Now the process of offering the high profit back end product may be immediate and occur in the Funded Proposal sales funnel right after the initial front end product purchase (Empower Network), or it’s a delayed process in which you generate your leads, sell the front end product, and then contact your customers by phone and build rapport by getting to know them (My Lead System Pro) and give the Know-Like-Trust relationship time to develop before you try to sell them on your back end product (MLM company).

Now both these processes work well and which you use depends on what type of back end product you are selling. In the case of the immediate sale, the back end product must be congruent to the front end product, and setup in such a way so that once the customer buys the initial product they can now see the benefit of the back end product and are much more likely to buy that also.

Empower Network which is a type of Funded Proposal actually does a great job on this since there are actually 5 levels of products that are immediately offered to the customer while still in the initial sales funnel, but each is offered to the prospect in ascending price order, and only after the customer has completed the previous sales stage.

So in the example above the customer buys a $25 high value product, then they are offered a $100 training product, then after they purchase that they are offered the chance to buy a $500 training package and then a $1000 product and so on finally topping out at a $3,500 advanced training program.

Now using a Funded Proposal with a delayed sale such as with the My Lead System Pro marketing system, is necessary in that system since only about 1/3^rd of the prospects coming into your sales funnel will probably be open to your back end business proposal immediately, but the other 70% of your leads will already be attached to some other MLM company or opportunity, so they will not be very interested in your sales pitch for why your MLM is better than theirs.

Why Wait?

Now since you know that Network Marketing is a transitional business, and that the average time a new rep stays in a company before looking for some new and better opportunity is about 4 months. Now this is actually a killer lead generation approach since once you give the Know-Like-Trust relationship time to develop, you will convert a higher and higher percentage of your customers to the MLM you are building (see MLM Success The Tyranny Of The Deal).

Why Use The Funded Proposal?

Funded Proposals Generate More Prospects: Direct Approaches have lower lead flow and it’s harder to maintain list membership. Once someone has seen your deal and decided they are not interested they typically ‘Opt Out” of your list and they are gone forever
Funded Proposals Maintain Larger Customer Lists Over Time: Indirect Approaches allow you to build a much larger list of prospects that are all in your target market and also to maintain that list. Since you offered them something of value that did not conflict with their other business (tools, training, etc.) these customers tend to stay on your list.

Now if we think through our business process we know that if we approach enough leads directly about our business we would probably be able to sponsor the transitional prospects (those who are looking right now) and that probably represents about 2% or 3% of the total lead flow.

So we profit from the 3% but we lose money on the 97% who did not buy and to make it worse we know that since the MLM prospect market is very transitional, a very high percentage of the no-buy prospects will at sometime in the future be good prospects for your business once again.

Funded Proposals Give You Cash Flow: Funded Proposals allow you to cash flow your marketing efforts by the sale of your front end product, and to monetize your list on a long term basis by selling other products of value to that same list over and over.

Now if you learn to use tools like the Funded Proposal effectively you will find your success in building your home business will increase dramatically, and you may in fact find yourself on that perfect tropical beach smiling as you think about your laptop based business and that huge shopping cart in the Cloud that is now working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

From Bankruptcy to $1.5 Million a year – The power of an MLM Marketing System

Written by Marc Barrett on March 27, 2013 · Leave a Comment

If you are here looking for information about what an MLM Marketing System is, and how you can use them to achieve success then you are in the right place.

First let’s talk money……………….

So there I was less than 3 years into my first MLM marketing experience and after six painful months of stumbling around doing really stupid stuff………

Then BINGO!

I found the most powerful secret to generating income know to modern man and my income shot to over $1 million a year……………..

So what was the Secret?

Was it “LUCK” or “TIMING”?

Well actually it was much simpler, it was that I discovered the power of a system, and how an MLM marketing system that actually works combined with massive action, is without a doubt the most powerful success tool ever invented.

In short I found something that worked, jumped on it, and ran with it!

Now most people who sell the MLM success dream generally focus on only one key factor when they spin the tale of what it takes to have huge financial success in Network Marketing.

Timing………..

Now timing, being in the right place at the right time, can of course be a very powerful element that can acceleration your growth, but Timing in itself can’t create success.

So what can?

The MLM Marketing System…………….

Most people do not understand the power of a good system but it’s what really defines almost all success in the world today from huge corporations, to a franchise, to a successful online business model or store.

You see if you have a successful system, you can literally create success over and over and then you can use your system to leverage your success.

Having a successful MLM Marketing system was how I went from Bankruptcy ( with a big B ) to earning over $1.5 million in my first MLM business in less than 3 years.

Now of course I would love to tell you that it was all because I am a brilliant marketing strategist…

Actually I am really good at marketing but without a MLM Marketing system to leverage my own efforts that allowed me to do in one hour what it took others days to do, well I would still be back there doing one on one sales pitches like you are probably doing right now.

Now I am humble enough to say that I did not invent the entire system, but simply combined a few elements that were already there in such a way that it became more than the sum of its parts.

Then when I saw how powerful and quick it was at generating the success I wanted, I grabbed it and ran with it.

Then I leveraged the system to make millions

The MLM Marketing System – My Blueprint to $1.5 million a year

My original MLM Marketing system came out of discussions 25 years ago with two MLM legends and mentor’s of mine, Mark Yarnell and Jerry Campisi.

MLM Marketing System Key Element 1

The first part the system came from discussions I had with Jerry Campisi that changed my mindset from approaching MLM success as an “Identify and Sell” proposition to a “Sifting and Sorting” mass marketing mindset.

In short this proposition said:

Sift the population to find “Leads”, sift the leads to find, “Suspects”, sift the suspects to find “Prospects”, and sift the prospects to find the people who raise their hand and say “I’m In, sign me up”!

That in fact was one of my first “Ah Ha” moments in my journey to the word of MLM.

MLM Marketing System Key Element 2

Now trying to sift through huge numbers of prospects by giving one on one presentations did not work well, the population of potential prospects is simply too large and the time it takes to do one off presentations is too long.

Enter mentor #2 Mark Yarnell

Now Mark Yarnell is a character to say the least, I could tell you stories all day long about his antics in the world of MLM, it’s the stuff of legend, but the key element I gained from him was “Duplication”

Now I was sifting and sorting but still doing it by direct presentation and not hitting the success or the numbers I knew I needed. Then in talking to Mark Yarnell he told me flatly that he knew exactly what I was doing wrong.

He said that I was too good at what I did, too polished and when people looked at me, they listened to my presentation and probably saw the potential but the also looked at the process they also would have to do to be successful and decided they just could not do what Marc Barrett did.

In short I was not duplicatable

He told me to use a short video tape presentation he had done. I was to sit people down, play the tape and let the tape do the selling.

Later I gave a presentation to a CPA in Denver and after watching the video he asked me………

He said “I just want to know one thing, can I buy that video tape and do what you are doing”

The 2^nd Ah Ha Moment strikes…………..

My MLM Marketing System

I then strung these two concepts together, added in several other elements and created my first MLM Marketing system

Run ads in newspapers to generate 100 leads a week
Prospect reads the ad and calls a Voice Mail number and listens to a 2 min screening recording sizzling the opportunity and leaves their name and number for more information
I call prospects, give no details on the phone and schedule them into a group presentation for the next day at my home
I group 6 to 12 people into each presentation and schedule 3 sessions per day.
I play the video tape presentations for the group and then do a strong “Take Away” and tell them to go home and think about it, and to call me back only if they want to move forward. I also tell them if I don’t hear back in 2 days I am crossing their name off the list.
No follow-ups

This simple system allowed me to sift and sort through large numbers of potential prospects quickly and the video presentation made it duplicatable.

No Follow Up?

Now the idea of not following up horrifies most sale people who are taught to follow up till they buy or die, however the no follow up strategy allowed me to free up massive amounts of time that I would have wasted trying to close unmotivated prospects into my business and instead gave me the time to focus on generating the volume.

I only signed the people who took action and came back to me. This allowed me to build an organization of action takers and not burn time trying to close and motivate the non action takers.

MLM Marketing System Key Element 3

Massive Action and Leverage

Now with a system that worked in hand, I had a blueprint that I could pass to my organization so I quickly gathered my team leaders and give them the exact blueprint of what to do and branched quickly all over the US.

MLM Marketing System Evolution

Now MLM marketing is always in a state of flux and evolution, and what works at one point in time tends to change from time to time.

Now that system does not work anymore, the technology behind it changed but when one door closes another opens and if you keep your eyes open you will always find the path.

Enter The Internet

Now today of course the target market for MLM prospecting has grown from the local market or even local country to a seamless global market, and the larger the audience, the more powerful the MLM marketing system needs to be to cope with the huge scope of finding MLM Leads in a virtually unlimited global market.

The internet of course is where you will now find the most powerful MLM marketing systems like My Lead System Pro, Empower Network, or the EZ Money Formula just to name a few.

MLM Leads – Get Paid To Click Lead Generation – Killer Internet Marketing Strategy or Trolling For Trash

Written by Marc Barrett on March 7, 2013 · 2 Comments

So if you are looking for information on Get Paid To Click marketing, you have come to the right place. In this review I will discuss if Get Paid To Click internet and online marketing strategies actually work and do an in depth review of whether a Get Paid To Click strategy should be part of your online marketing tool chest or if it’s just a terrible waste of time.

High Volume Lead Flow

Now of course having adequate lead flow to power your home based or online business is not only critical to your long term success, but it will affect your bottom line in ways you probably can’t even imagine, like the difference between making $500 a month and making $50,000 a month.

In fact if you are courting success in the online marketing world you should already know the mantra.

“With high lead flow you fly… Without it you die…..”

I think this was best expressed by one of the all time greats in the world of high volume lead generation Daegan Smith who at one point in his internet marketing career was generating over 2600 leads a day.

2600 leads a day?

Holy crap that’s a lot of leads!

Sorry for the raw language but I get excited just thing about that the internet marketers holy grail, being able to generate several thousand leads a day.

Daegan recently spoke at the, the My Lead System Pro “Live The Dream 2” event in Orlando Florida , and as he was taking about high volume lead generation his face latterly lit up as he said…

“Traffic will set you free”

Well I guess so,

But is getting that high of a lead flow really that hard?

Is it really something that is reserved for the true masters of “Time And Space”, the internet market Gurus?

Well actually no…..

Leads are easy, heck in a recent blog post I reviewed a dozen ways I can show a total newbie to generate high volume lead flow (MLM Leads And Why You Don’t Have Any).

This may come as a shocker for some of you but generating a

high volume lead flow is not really that hard, (see my review 433 MLM Leads In One Day? ) the real issue is what you do with those leads.

Now that comes down to a discussion of business models and what you should be doing to get the biggest bang for the buck from monetizing that lead flow but that’s another discussion for another day.

Now for most people who have embraced the idea of online marketing and are desperately buying every new online course they can lay their hands on just to get a hint of how in the world you actually get leads online, the industry standard you hear over and over again is……

10 leads a day is good, at 25 leads a day magic starts happening, and at 50 to 100 leads a day you are pretty much a master.

Or so the masters tell you to get you to spend several hundred dollars on their training course.

But why settle for the slow lane? How about if I could show you an approach that could generate you 100 leads a day and cost you only pennies?

I guess that would make me the new guru right?

Well I will show you a trick here but what I want you to understand is that not only do you need to raise your sights on lead flow, but more importantly start focusing on what exactly are you trying to sell those leads.

Avoid Marketing Mismatch

Generating large lead flow is the first step in the process, but then you must also be offering them something they not only see the benefit in, but also want to buy.

Depending on the leads this could range anywhere from a standard MLM offering (low ticket) to a Top Tier MLM (big ticket) to an affiliate marketing tool (low ticket) to maybe even a Warrior Forum offer (very low ticket) or even several of the above products.

If you are too set on selling just one thing or opportunity to a lead group before you test to see what they actually want, then you could end up have a marketing mismatch, totally miss the mark and come away thinking that the lead source was bad when they were just telling you they did not like what you were offering.

Marketing is all about learning to be a matchmaker and making everyone happy.

Get Paid To Click Lead Basics – Monetize your Lead List

So you have probably heard that in the world of online lead generation it’s all about building the list, and that is very true. Now once you have generated a bunch of leads the next step is to monetize your list, so that you can make money off of your lead generation efforts.

Now there are as many ways to generate cash flow online as there are BMW’s in South Florida, however some are fairly low yield such as a Standard MLMs or affiliate marketing programs, while others give more bang for the sale such as Top Tier MLM or Hybrid Top Tier models.

But back to the whole point of this article which is to examine one of the little known niche markets where you can generate huge lead flow for latterly pennies per lead, it’s called Get Paid To Click advertising.

Now you may already be familiar with a lot of the different types of co-op marketing models out there such as Safe Lists or marketing sites where everyone becomes a member and then markets to each other but you probably don’t know about Get Paid To Click models.

Now Get Paid To Click advertising is not new but it is powerful and if you use it properly can provide you with not only a powerful testing ground for different marketing approaches, squeeze pages, and products but can also pretty much bury you in leads in a heartbeat.

Believe it or now Get Paid To Click Advertising sites have massive traffic, a recent Alexa.com search showed one of the industry giants Neobux had a traffic ranking of 100. Now that blew me away, a little old co-op ad site that is one of the 100 most trafficked websites in the entire world?

get paid to click

If you could see my face right now you would see total AWE!

Now the premise of these Get Paid To Click marketing sites is twofold, one is that they attract millions of members (yes I said millions) who sign up for a free account so that they can get paid to Click on and view different ads every day. The more sponsored ads you click on and view for time increments that vary from 15 seconds to 1 minute or more the more you can potentially make.

Now just so you don’t get confused here, don’t waste your time becoming a click monster to try to make money, that’s not your objective. You make such a tiny amount of money clicking on ads that if you spend every waking hour online mindlessly clicking through the ads you could make as much as a few hundred dollars a month.

I hope that’s not why you are here, remember set your sights higher. It’s really as easy to make $10,000 or $20,000 or more a month online as it is to make $500, so don’t waste your time in little league.

Now the flip side of this is that these Get Paid To Click ad sites sites also attract advertisers (that would be us) who pay the sites to be able to post their ads in front of that huge audience and try to generate traffic.

Now with most of the Get Paid To Click Advertising sites you will be paying per click, so that every time someone clicks on your ad and stays on it for the required time period that counts as a click for you.

So in fact you can place an ad, and pay maybe $16 for a thousand clicks and people will be waiting in line to click on your add and look at your squeeze page.

Yes, yes I know, that’s incentivized clicking, and initially the trough of paying people to go to your website does not seem like a good idea, but stay with me here, I am going to make a point.

Who is your target market? Well if you are trying to attract biz op buyers to your MLM, affiliate marketing, or home based business model, then the audience on these Get Paid To Click sites are exactly who you want. These people are trying to make money online, they just don’t know a better way. Now of course they are spending their time badly and not making very much but that’s what you are there to show them right, the higher profit way your business opportunity can provide them.
They are paid to click, however they are not paid to Opt-in. Now this is an important point. They are paid to look at your website but that’s it, so if they decide to actually opt in, they have now become a qualified lead and I might add at a cost per lead that will blow you away, would you believe $0.16 to $0.30 cents a lead?

Get Paid To Click Lead Generation Strategies

Here are some simple marketing guidelines that will help you use this strategy to the fullest.

Use Simple Ads and don’t lose too many brain cells trying to develop some killer sexy ad Remember these people get paid to click on your ad so they are probably going to click on everything.
Test In Small Batches: Buy a group of 5000 or so clicks for $50 or so and then test your different offers and squeeze pages in batches of 1000 to determine the best converting offer.
Track Your Results: Remember you are now a marketer and not only is “Test” your new middle name but “Track” is now your new last name. Use tracking tools like Hypertracker or other online tracking tools to help you gauge performance of your campaign, otherwise you are flying blind. These are simple and cheap to use.
Use Clicks To Test Your Offer and then use a fixed ad to open the doors to lead heaven. Most of these services will offer both pay per click services to advertisers and also Fixed ads where you may pay per day for an ad to run and you will receive unlimited clicks. ( I have pulled in over 1000 leads in 2 days using this approach)
Use Geo Targeting To Test: If you are testing in small batches and are actually paying for your clicks then it only makes sense to use their geo-targeting tools so that your ad only gets displayed in the countries your select. So if you have an offer that is only good in the US, you sure don’t want leads in the UK especially if you are paying for clicks. Now once you have established that your offer or squeeze page converts and you move to a fixed ad you may want to remove the geo targeting to maximize leads.
Test Several Different Get Paid To Click advertising portals: Results can vary between portals.

So there you have it, properly used Get Paid To Click Ad Sites can give you huge lead flow to jumpstart your business model.

Fortune Hi Tech Marketing – FHTM Review Is FHTM A Scam Or A Rocket To MLM Success

Written by Marc Barrett on January 28, 2013 · Leave a Comment

FHTM – “Fortune Hi Tech Marketing Update ”

Federal, state regulators shut down Fortune Hi-Tech

The Federal Trade Commission and three state attorneys general announced Monday that they shut down a national multilevel marketing company they called a “global pyramid scheme”…..

Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing of Lexington, Ky., and its top two executives were sued by the FTC and the attorneys general of Kentucky, North Carolina and Illinois for “unfair and deceptive actions” that violated state and federal laws…..

USA TODAY

For More Information On Fortune Hi Tech See my Original Blog Post Review Below Republished From 2011

*************************

FHTM, FHTM, FHTM, enough already! I was already tired of hearing about them before I even sat down to actually take a close look at the deal and do a company review.

Now I am not being negative on the company, it’s just that they have some pretty nice growth going on right now and as a result there are a lot of excited people running around with the fervor of the newly converted, chanting the mantra FHTM, FHTM.

Well let me back up here and do a proper intro, FHTM stands for, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, a Network Marketing company out of Lexington KY, that markets??

Well quite a lot of things actually.

Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing has developed some very interesting company positioning.

Rather than try to brand themselves with a particular product, they have stepped back and actually branded themselves as a marketing middleman?

Now the idea of having a middleman in the middle of anything seems to conjure up visions of having someone insert themselves into the middle of a transaction and it feels like it going to cost you money right?

I mean so many vendors over the last 20 years have built empires off of the totally opposite branding i.e. “buy direct”, “wholesale”, in short “cut out the middleman”

Now with all the perceived negative press about this poor middleman I would actually hate to be one of them.

So why brand yourself with a perceived negative?

Well in the world of marketing once a buzzword has been overused it tends to no longer have the same effect of jumping into the mind of the consumer.

It can no longer achieve, what is called in the marketing world, “positioning” in the mind of the consumer.

So Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing just went the other way, and it was so different I think it actually worked.

Kudos to you FHTM on a great marketing move!

That still does not mean I like you through.

So here is the actual scoop. Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing was brought into existence in 2001 as the brainchild of Paul Orberson, Mr. million-dollar a month man himself.

So I guess I need to explain that.

Whenever I hear the name of Paul Orberson I think of Excel Telecommunications, the Mega-Viral MLM telecom company that started in 1988 and had perfect market timing with discount long distance phone service.

They became one of those non-stop rocket ships to the bank that we all wish we were at the top of, because when this MLM company hit a billion in sales in about 8 years, well positioned distributors made a killing!

That rapid run-up took a newbe distributor, Paul Orberson and launched him to stardom in the world of MLM success, where he supposedly was making upwards of $500,000 to over a million dollars a month.

Wow, I love this industry!

But wait, how did he do that on phone service?

Well a lot of the heady income was generated by what is called a “coded bonus” MLM compensation plan where huge volumes of dollars in pretty big chunks were moved from the bottom of the organization to the top.

Coded bonus comp plans are a way of maximizing the money paid for a distributor sign up package in a standard MLM, and is generally used where there is where there is not a lot of residual income being generated on actual monthly usage of whatever product a MLM company is actually selling.

Excel used this because their product was long distance service and when you split out the tiny profit on that, and then pump it through multiple levels of compensation, there is just not much there.

When Excel was paying Paul Orberson the big bucks he is rumored to have said the residual part of his check was only a few thousand a month.

Big difference!

So the big issue with this type of comp plan is that once the actual sponsoring frenzy dies down and the distributor kits stop flying off the shelves, are there going to be any more big checks?

Well Excel never lasted long enough to find out. When telecom deregulation hit full stride, the competition totally gutted the profitability of Excels market and they went down like a ton of bricks. The company declared bankruptcy so they did not have to pay their MLM distributors and then reorganized as a straight retail company (bad karma there boys).

Now you may be wondering why all this dialogue about Excel when I am doing a review on FHTM?

Well obviously once you have made the big bucks in network marketing in a particular market niche using a particular business plan you kind of get hooked.

FHTM uses many telecom products just as Excel did and also uses a coded bonus program to pay distributors.

So the big issue here is not whether you can make money in Fortune Hi-Tech today, because many people are, but how long is the money tree going to last?

Well I guess only time will tell.

Now a few other tidbits here on FHTM.

Distributors who join, quickly find out that to achieve many of the bonus levels they have to actually generate some customers ( personally I really hate having to find customers to get paid) but they do allow you to sign up for your own product services through FHTM to qualify at least for the first round of commissions.

Now the FHTM products cover a really broad range

FHTM Health & Beauty Products

Now in case you don’t know this, cosmetics and skin care are of course products with a huge markup and its good they included this product category since it will help to keep the company profitable and there are great margins in this area.

FHTM Services

Home security, Identity theft, water filters (Shades of NSA) and others

FHTM Entertainment Products

The big dog in this is of course Dish Network Service but Fortune Hi-Tech also has some filler products such as entertainment discounts etc.

FHTM Communications Products

Long distance, wireless, high speed internet, etc

Now generally when a company has a broad product range in network marketing it can kind of stall out new distributors because there are too many products to focus on, and they don’t know what to promote, but Fortune Hi-Tech has positioned this all under their middleman concept so it seems to work.

So what’s in the future for this company?

Yes? No?

Thumbs up? Thumbs down?

Well obviously Fortune Hi-Tech appears to be a legitimate MLM company with an aggressive comp plan, but personally I would not join them but that’s just because of my personal preferences in the MLM industry.

The Coded Bonus structure used by FHTM is in my opinion, an attempt to create more income on the front end of a standard MLM business model (As opposed to a Top Tier MLM business model) to accelerate growth and provide an environment were people can earn money quickly.

The longevity of an MLM distributor is largely determined by how quickly they can make money. Personally I feel that a better solution to this problem is not to slice and dice the small fees paid by new distributors when they sign up but rather to use an entirely different business model that was actually designed to provide much bigger bonuses on the front end like Top Tier MLM’s such as Wealthmasters International or use a Hybrid Top Tier business model such as Empower Network does.

One of the biggest flaws of the Standard MLM business model is time. It can take you years to generate a nice $10,000/ month income stream but it can be gone in a heartbeat if the company makes mistakes. With the Top Tier MLM business models you can earn the big money today and bank it today so your business risk is lower.

Also in my opinion, I think there can be some basic flaws in using this product type (core products are all pretty much technology products) long term to achieve MLM success.

Also I am not sure of the long term success of the comp plan as I mentioned earlier in the article, and as far as growth dynamics, FHTM is a little mature for a standard MLM company (10 years).

However personal opinion aside, you can’t argue with success, Fortune Hi-Tech has some great growth going on and there are a lot of people making money.

So I guess your question would be, should you join them and go for it?

Well of course nothing if for certain in business, however based on their current track record FHTM could be a long team winner if they manage the process properly.

However some general warnings here. If you are going to jump in, you need to use a build fast strategy using an online marketing approach.

Now be aware, FHTM is one of a handful of MLM companies out there today that really do not like online MLM marketing very much. Their marketing philosophy is stuck in the last century and they really push new reps to promote only person to person marketing.

However since online marketing systems such as My Lead System Pro are generic and you do not ever mention the company name they really have no say in how you generate leads as long as you do it the right way.

One final note here is to remember the advice I gave at the very end of the company review I did on MonaVie, (MonaVie Review Update – Up the Superjuice Creek Without a Paddle?) and if you hit the mark and start raking in money, “bank it”.

There are too many success stories in the world of MLM that hit it big and figured the “Money Tree” was going to last forever, only to have something derail the success train and leave them clutching their plasma TV’s and other toys muttering in the corner about finding the next big deal.

A Special New Years Day Gift From Marc Barrett

Written by Marc Barrett on January 1, 2013 · 2 Comments

So where do you want your “New Year” sent?

It’s pretty amazing to think about really, today we will receive the very special gift of a whole new year to play with.

Untouched, untarnished, unused, a blank slate of 12 full months for us to write the days of our lives on.

So how are you going to use yours? Any plans?

This is the reason that people feel compelled to do New Year’s Resolutions. We kind of pledge to ourselves that we are not going to waste another one of those brand new years.

Well as you are pondering your “Resolutions” for the coming year here is a thought.

I heard a great quote from a motivational coach several months ago who was trying to describe how most people feel about success in life.

Like the old saying goes, he said that most people spend their lives waiting for opportunity to knock at their door.

He went on to say that if you really want success, forget waiting by the door, you should go out, track down opportunity, club it to the ground and drag it home with you.

The essence is of course, to decide what you want, understand that no one but you will ever lay it in your lap, and go for it.

Like the famous saying by comedian Jonathan Winters

“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!”

Success in life is all about taking action, in every moment of every day.

So enough of the sidelines, watching is safe but it’s only in action that we will define our lives.

So let’s make that our resolution

As the ancient Romans used to say, “Carpe diem”

“Seize the Day!”

Still searching for Network Marketing Success?

So if you are ready to take your business and income to the next level you need to learn how to use the internet to leverage your business. Today there are hundreds of millions of people online and many are probably looking for a business just like yours, imagine for a moment just being able to reach out an tap just the smallest fraction of that huge traffic and bring it to your business.

Exciting thought isn’t it?

Now generating leads of course is only a small part of the success process, to be able to achieve your financial goals within the time frame you set for yourself depends totally upon designing a 7 Figure Business Plan and using the correct business model that can actually get you there. There are far too many people who fail in the home based business industry because they try to use a business model that is just not going to get them to that magical $10,000 per month in 6 months or less.

Here is a special webinar I did recently that explains the differences in business models and why they will make the critical difference between your success and failure

Marc Barrett’s Traditional Holiday Rant – Help I Am Trapped In A Time Warp!

Written by Marc Barrett on December 27, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Humm….. it’s that time of the year again.

You know, the time when things get busier and busier as we hit Thanksgiving, then all of a sudden it’s like we have been sucked into a time warp and it’s a non-stop blast through the December holidays and suddenly here it is.

We stare across the gulf that separates us from the next year and we can feel it growing shorter and shorter by the day.

So our first thought is

December already? No way! I want a “do over”!

Now tiding up all the loose ends and ending the year is a lot of work, so the first thing we do is to drag out our holiday greeting card list and reach out to that extended group of family and friends to say hello once again, to let them know they are still in our hearts and prayers (or that they are lucky to still on our list), and maybe even toss in a little summary of what has happened in our life over the last year.

Maybe we even put in a little plug about getting on Facebook so they won’t feel so totally in the dark and shocked when they learn that cousin Mary Lou ran off with a 2^nd string baseball pitcher from Missouri and now lives in Japan and teaches English (just kidding).

Well as I dragged out my list and then wandered back over what has happened in my life over the last year, I re-read my blog post from last December 25^th , Holiday Best Wishes & A Special Gift. I smiled when I thought how true it was that the best gifts can’t be sent by Fedex, or special delivery, they are the gifts that we give of ourselves.

They are the friendship, the love, the understanding, the encouragement, and all the little and big ways we can reach out and give part of what we are to others.

This year as I did my review and tried to think of a gift I could give, I suddenly realized what an interesting transitional year 2012 was.

On one side we are still sitting in the middle of an economic meltdown in the world economy and there was pretty much bad news spinning out of the media on a daily basis (does this ever change)? However I also discovered that if you plan your business model correctly you are pretty much immune to the ups and downs of the economy. I was saddened by the passing of my mother Helen, an amazing woman and a constant source of inspiration to me who almost made it a full 97 years, I will miss her.

On the other side it was an amazing journey for me, I welcomed the new year in Geneva Switzerland by watching some killer fireworks, launched several new business models (Empower Network, Marc Barrett’s Marketing Mastery University, and others), spent lots of time hanging out with family in Colorado (my 2nd home),

Running The Boulder Boulder 10K With Aaron, Paul, Alli & Jacob

I becoming a grandfather for the 3rd and 4th time (what are my kids doing having kids??), and generally had a pretty amazing time.

Paul & Kate Aaron & Preston

I also welcomed another birthday. I should rephrase that, actually I did not welcome it, however I know that life is a journey to be lived to the fullest and we must cherish every moment on the way, even the stupid birthdays!

So I decided my gift to you this year would be the gift of “Choice”

I know, you already have choice so in a way this is kind of like re-gifting.

So the point is this, we all have a choice.

No one’s life is perfect, that’s simply an illusion. We all have challenges, disappointments, roadblocks, and the highs and lows.

However we can choose what we wish to focus on, that’s the gift of “Choice”

This holiday season more than ever before I hope you focus on all the good parts of the journey of 2012 and “Choose” to feel blessed, and I wish for you to feel all the infinite possibilities that life holds in store for you in 2013.
